| WiMAX System Performance
Studies
- Presented by EDX |
 |
| There are several ways of
quantifying the performance of a broadband system. This paper will address
two pressing issues of WiMAX system design which are interference and
capacity analysis. This paper considers the factors affecting these two
performance measures and discusses how to properly take these effects into
account. The manuscript starts with an overview of WiMAX with focus on the
relevant aspects in the standard that are necessary for these studies. The
sections of interference and capacity analysis follow. The technical details
of the 802.16e standard presented herein are based on the reports [1] and
[2]. |

Design Considerations
- Presented by EDX |
|
| The flexibility of the WiMAX
standard allows the designer of a network to plan a system even with a
limited amount of spectrum. Service providers can choose to design a network
that best suits their needs by balancing spectral efficiency, number of
supported users, reliability, and coverage through the setting of the
various WiMAX system parameters. This paper addresses some of the tradeoffs
that are encountered in the process of planning a network. |

| Ensuring Reliable Delivery
of Triple Play Bundled Services Over FTTx
- Presented by Acterna |
|
| The pressure is on TELCO
Service Providers. As competition increases, they need to act fast before
competitors’ service offerings significantly impact their profits. Bundled
services of voice, data, and video are the solutions that they are choosing
in their quest to retain both customers and profits. Cable MSOs are offering
voice and data to their subscribers on top of broadcast video, and they are
rolling out new video-on-demand services. Wireless carriers are taking voice
business away from traditional voice providers, and they are offering new
wireless broadband data services, including video, to their own subscribers. |

Broadband Applications Fueling Consumer Demand
- Presented by Alcatel |
|
| Telcos
have a narrow window of opportunity in which to exploit their
interactive strengths against competitors. Technical advancements
have converged with consumer demand to provide meaningful
broadband applications consumers are both willing to pay for and
stay for. What will it take for telcos to win the broadband war
and secure new revenue streams? Four emerging broadband
applications provide incumbent telcos with renewed prospects to
retain valued customers: video, gaming, home networking, and audio
on demand. |

| Telcos
face a growing challenge from their competitors in the cable
television operator and wireless telephone industries.
Metropolitan cable service operators (MSOs) offer new Internet
access and voice over IP (VoIP) telephone services— along with
digital video and television—that encroach on the market and
revenue of telcos. And consumers are choosing the convenience of
personal wireless telephones over traditional wireline service.

Wireless: The New Era in Communications -
Presented by Intel |

There’s no doubt the world is going wireless – faster and more broadly than
anyone might have expected. In this visionary paper, Intel demonstrates this
new reality and predicts that billions of people will gain high-speed
Internet access – wirelessly – within the next decade. The premise for this
vision is clear: all high-speed wireless technologies (3G, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and
Ultra- Wideband) will coexist, working in tandem to meet service provider
and customer needs for truly mobile computing and communications across the
globe. |

| Second Line
Services Over Internet Broadband
- Presented by IVR Technologies |
|
| The Yankee Group,
a leading research and consulting firm, forecasts that residential xDSL and
cable high-speed data connections in the United States alone will increase
from 10.7 million connections in 2001 to 31.1 million connections in 2005.
Internet Service Providers, CLECs and Cable operators are now able to take
advantage of the growing popularity of broadband technology by offering
telephony services to their existing subscriber base and beyond. The
ubiquity and connectivity of the Internet extends market reach for companies
from a single geographic region to the worldwide market. |

| IP/Convergence
for Enterprise Networks -
Presented by Siemens |
|
| The Internet, when
it became a mass market phenomenon in the mid-1990s, changed the direction
of the telecommunications industry. It is now the primary driving force for
a new generation of integrated network solutions, called IP/Convergence.
Voice, video, data and image information are being merged into innovative
multimedia applications whose goals include improvements to the customer
interface, enhancements to business processes and higher quality, more
understandable information. An urgent requirement now exists for an
affordable, flexible, reliable and rational path to converged networks
within the enterprise. |

| Enterprise IP
Communications Making the Right Choice
- Presented by Sphere |
|
| Many new options
are arising as a result of the move to IP technology as a media for voice
communications. More importantly the move to IP brings a new opportunity for
additional value and productivity in communications. However, many current
offerings are merely implementations of legacy private branch exchange (PBX)
models on a new set of wires – IP wires. Burdened by a history of complex,
proprietary systems and their related revenue streams, many traditional PBX
vendors find it difficult to shift their business too quickly – effectively
slowing the real adoption of new technologies. |

Case for Convergence - Presented

|
| Enterprise voice
communications are in the midst of a dramatic transformation.
Forward thinking businesses are rapidly migrating from traditional PBX
systems, based on time division multiplexing (TDM), to systems that use a
fundamentally different architecture—IP telephony. With VoIP (Voice over
Internet Protocol) voice, data, video, and fax are all converged over a
single platform and a single network. Th e benefi t to the enterprise is
convergence. IP telephony is simply the mechanism. |
